Volume 1, Chapter 23: Outside of Work, Stay Away From Her

"Just look at our son; so many years have passed, and he is still the same," Mother Qin sighed as she put away her phone after the call was disconnected.

"T-this was my situation back then, and so, you really can hear my inner thoughts!?" Hibiki Tachibana looked at Son Goku with a hopeful expression.

Capitalists will sell us the rope with which to hang them. This explosive and famous quote was uttered by the notorious bald-headed rebel of the old world, Ulyanov, and the principle holds just as true in the new world.

"Thank you." Yin Yumo's ankle was indeed severely injured, yet she held back the pain.

"I am merely a scientist; matters of war have nothing to do with me. Besides, I have no strength to truss a chicken; if I went to the battlefield, I would only be a burden to you all," Song Jianguo quickly expressed his stance after hearing Gu Chengan's words.

"Then I shall trouble General Azure Dragon to verify this." Master Qitian poured the water into a bowl and respectfully handed it to General Azure Dragon with both hands.

Qiao Jiyun, once a suave and successful man in his fifties, now showed the decline of someone nearing sixty. These past few years had been a metamorphosis for Wanqing, but for everyone in the Qiao family, they were nothing short of a disaster.

During her time in Binhai, Fang Hongxia had been very happy. The Ye siblings treated her like family, and Young Master Ye had not even told anyone about her identity as a "snow slave." To her, this was dignity and a kindness worth repaying with her life.

Wu Yongchun remained silent, acting with complete compliance. He boarded the passenger ship bound for North Island City with the two officers. After waiting for about ten minutes, the ship slowly pulled out of the harbor and headed into the vast, open sea.

"Well? Are there any instructions now that you've called us out, Commander of the Gale Mercenary Group?" a mocking voice rang out.

The matter ended there, but Yun Duoduo had still managed to glean the information she wanted from those few words.

On the table in front of her sat a tea set, one of the cups emitting wisps of steam and a faint scent of roses.

In the past, she could hide within the Dragon Clan, sheltered by the Great Elder. Now that the Great Elder was dead and the Dragon Clan was no longer an option, she could only hide among mortals.

Gu Lanshan noticed that Sheng Shi had not spoken for a long time. Feeling somewhat unnatural, she raised her hand to gently smooth her hair, looked into his eyes, and then handed the gift box she was holding into the car through the window.

The crowd watched with lingering fear, and no one knew who knelt first, praying piously to the heavens.

The person walking behind was also bald but sported a thick beard. Seeing his beard, Li Rui finally understood why Nannan had called him "Red Beard" earlier. It turned out the bald man's beard was indeed a brownish-red color—a shade rarely seen in China, though not a bright red.

Although she felt she could escape from Ye Lan, it would certainly be a very troublesome affair.

When Li Xiuyun arrived, Murong Che said he needed to return to his manor and asked her to help look after things; Li Xiuyun readily agreed.

The wretched Daoist Dice, having lost both feet and with a broken iron chain tied around his neck, was like a soul snatched away by Impermanence, unable to act of his own free will.

Bai Rong stopped, glanced down at the sleeve gripped tightly by the Young Master Guan, looked up at him, and nodded with an indifferent expression.

The snake-like lifeform that landed on the ground first had arms covered in thick, rough calluses, like an old tree that had withered but was still struggling to draw nutrients from the earth.

She said she had drawn a bath for him, and he had rushed into the bathroom so eagerly that he didn't know she was wearing his shirt.

If Zuo Yin and Xiao Qihan had met under different, more harmonious circumstances, she would surely have sympathized with the annoyance caused by Xiao Qihan’s gossip-seeking nature, digging into Lin Xiao’s life as if it had anything to do with him.

Du Ke’s legs trembled. The phantom reflected in the mottled light in the distance made him want to commit suicide on the spot, washing away his betrayal of faith with the spray of his own blood.

Just then, hearing of Ban Ye’s many contributions, the fat man felt no jealousy. He was truly happy for Ban Ye.

"We shall see how you perform in the future." Jin Guangyan temporarily felt that Mu Feng was still of some use.

If you do not marry for two years, then when I am free, I shall ride with you across the world, not as your wife, but as your companion. That night, perhaps only the moon in the sky understood her heart, yet how many people’s hearts remain unknown even to the moon?

"He is currently trapped in the main hall. I heard his subordinates asked him to change out of his dragon robes and slip out through the side door, but he refused and has been sitting on the imperial throne in the main hall the entire time," Fang Shijie said.

Whether it was Yang Ning, Lv Yuzhen, or Dong Yu, it was clear from their attire and demeanor that all three came from ordinary families. They were all somewhat shocked that Chen Lin had spent three thousand on a single meal.

"Perhaps the scenery triggered the memory, causing a surge of emotion and a deviation in his cultivation," Old Snake added jokingly.

This skill was in the Earth-element category; Jiang Yang had seen it before, but had never paid it any mind.

When the Peony Immortal Emperor and the others heard the Thunder Emperor’s intentionally stuttering words, they all burst into laughter, completely shedding the solemnity and dignity expected of them as majestic Immortal Emperors.

Over the years, Zhi Loujia Chen had aged significantly. His eyebrows and beard had turned from gray to snowy white and had grown much thinner. His face was dark, and his wrinkles were as deep as if carved by a knife. Fortunately, his constant travels had kept him in good health, and when he smiled, he looked kind and benevolent.

Although Wei Qiongshan spoke nicely, he was actually quite unsure of himself. After hanging up the phone with his son, he dialed someone else’s number.

In 3474 BC, following the Great Flood, the city of Uruk suffered major damage due to its location on the banks of the Euphrates River. The people rebuilt the city of Uruk amidst the ruins.
